Individuals & Families: Advocacy

This is one of seven core human rights treaties to which Australia is a party.

Human rights are defined in the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011 as the rights and freedoms contained in the seven core human rights treaties to which Australia is a party.

As part of Developmental Disability WA’s work in systemic advocacy, we work with our members and others to uphold these human rights and inform decision makers about priorities for the rights and needs of people with intellectual and other developmental disability and their families.

If you would like to be part of the voice to create positive change you could:

add your views in surveys

take part in research

apply for a grant to further your activities (where available)

make, or contribute to, a submission to a departmental, government or other inquiry

appear before a parliamentary or other committee or forum,

or having your say any other way, then please read on, or contact us to find out more.
